New Fiction - March 2015

Ackerman, Elliot
Green on Blue
From a decorated veteran of the Iraq and Afghan Wars, and White House Fellow, a stirring debut novel about a young
Afghan orphan and the harrowing, intractable nature of war. Aziz and his older brother Ali are coming of age in a
village amid the pine forests and endless mountains of eastern Afghanistan. There is no school, but their mother
teaches them to read and write, and once a month sends the boys on a two-day journey to the bazaar. They are poor, but
inside their mud-walled home, the family has stability, love, and routine. When a convoy of armed men arrives in their
village one day, their world crumbles. Having served five tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq, Elliot Ackerman has
written a gripping, morally complex debut novel, an astonishing feat of empathy and imagination about boys caught in a
deadly conflict.

Donovan, Anne
Gone Are the Leaves
The mesmerizing new novel by the author of Buddha Da
Feilamort can remember very little of his childhood before he became a choir boy in the home of the Laird and his
French wife. Feilamort has one of the finest voices in the land. It is a gift he believes will protect him. Deirdre
has lived in the castle all her short life. Apprentice to her mother, she embroiders the robes for one of Scotland's
finest families. She can capture, with just a few delicate stitches, the ripeness of a bramble or the glint of bronze
on a fallen leaf. But with her mother pushes her to choose between a man she does not love and a closed world of
prayer and solitude, Deirdre must decide for herself what her life will become. When the time comes for Feilamort to
make an awful decision, his choice catapults himself and Deirdre head-first into adulthood. As the two friends learn
more about Feilamort's forgotten childhood, it becomes clear that someone close is intent on keeping it hidden. Full
of wonder and intrigue, and told with the grace and charm, this is the enchanting story of one boy's lost past and his
uncertain future.

Peeling back one layer at a time, he delves into a decades-old secret in search of answers and traces of a passion unfulfilled.

Kegan, Stephanie
Golden State
A haunting literary drama, with a ripped-from-the headlines urgency reminiscent of Defending Jacob and Sue Miller's While I Was Gone, Golden State asks hard questions about the limits of loyalty and the bounds of family ties.

Larsen, Reif
I Am Radar
The moment just before Radar Radmanovic is born, all of the hospital's electricity mysteriously fails. The delivery takes place in total darkness. Lights back on, the staff sees a healthy baby boy-with pitch-black skin-born to the stunned white parents. No one understands the uncanny electrical event or the unexpected skin color. "A childbirth is an explosion," the ancient physician says by way of explanation. "Some shrapnel is inevitable, isn't it?" A kaleidoscopic novel both heartbreaking and dazzling, Reif Larsen's I Am Radar begins with Radar's perplexing birth but rapidly explodes outward, carrying readers across the globe and throughout history, as well as to unknown regions where radio waves and subatomic particles dance to their own design. Spanning this extraordinary range with grace and empathy, humor and courage, I Am Radar is the vessel where a century of conflict and art unite in a mesmerizing narrative whole.

Macallister, Greer
The Magician's LieWater for Elephants meets The Night Circus in The Magician's Lie, a debut novel in which the country's most notorious female illusionist stands accused of her husband's murder - and she has only one night to convince a small-town policeman of her innocence. The Amazing Arden is the most famous female illusionist of her day, renowned for her notorious trick of sawing a man in half on stage. One night in Waterloo, Iowa, with young policeman Virgil Holt watching from the audience, she swaps her trademark saw for a fire ax. Is it a new version of the illusion, or an all-too-real murder? When Arden's husband is found lifeless beneath the stage later that night, the answer seems clear. But when Virgil happens upon the fleeing magician and takes her into custody, she has a very different story to tell. Even handcuffed and alone, Arden is far from powerless - and what she reveals is as unbelievable as it is spellbinding. Over the course of one eerie night, Virgil must decide whether to turn Arden in or set her free... and it will take all he has to see through the smoke and mirrors.

McCarthy, Tom
Satin Island
From the author of Remainder and C (short-listed for the Man Booker Prize), and a winner of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, comes Satin Island, an unnerving novel that promises to give us the first and last word on the world--modern, postmodern, whatever world you think you are living in. U., a "corporate anthropologist," is tasked with writing the Great Report, an all-encompassing ethnographic document that would sum up our era. Yet at every turn, he feels himself overwhelmed by the ubiquity of data, lost in buffer zones, wandering through crowds of apparitions, willing them to coalesce into symbols that can be translated into some kind of account that makes sense. As he begins to wonder if the Great Report might remain a shapeless, oozing plasma, his senses are startled awake by a dream of an apocalyptic cityscape. In Satin Island , Tom McCarthy captures—as only he can—the way we experience our world, our efforts to find meaning (or just to stay awake) and discern the narratives we think of as our lives.

Seymour, Gerald
The Outsiders
A couple finds their perfect beach vacation shattered when MI5 use their villa to spy on the crime boss next door in the newest thriller from the "best spy novelist ever" (Philadelphia Inquirer) MI5 officer Winnie Monks has never forgotten - or forgiven - the brutal murder of a young agent on her team at the hands of a former Russian Army officer turned fixer and criminal known as the Major. Now, ten years later, she learns that the Major is travelling to a villa at the popular Spanish holiday destination Costa del Sol, and she asks permission to send in a surveillance unit. The spooks locate an empty property near the Major's: the Villa Paraiso. It's perfect to spy from - and as a base for Winnie's darker, less official, plans. But it turns out the villa isn't deserted. The owners have invited a young British couple to house sit while they are away. Jonno and Posie, a new couple, think they are embarking on a romantic, carefree break in the sun. But when the MI5 team arrives in paradise, everything changes—their holiday is about to become a terrifying journey into the violent global business of organized crime in The Outsiders by Gerald Seymour—a sophisticated thriller from a renowned master.

Taylor, Alex
The Marble Orchard
An engrossing and tragic literary thriller that evokes the sinister realism of Cormac McCarthy and the inescapable family bonds of Daniel Woodrell, The Marble Orchard tells the story of Beam, the black sheep of the Sheetmire family, a large and entrenched rural Kentucky clan. Beam finds himself on the run after killing a man who was trying to rob him, a man who turns out to be the son of Loat Duncan, a powerful local businessman and cold-blooded killer. With Loat—who is hiding a devastating secret about Beam's past—and Elvis, the local sheriff, hot on his trail, Beam leads a nomadic existence as he descends deeper into his own heart of darkness, slipping from one place to the next, each more mysterious than the last. The people he meets during his journey—an enigmatic trucker dressed in a suit, a cemetery-dwelling Good Samaritan, an armless brothel owner—are pieces of a puzzle that hold the key to Beam's past, as wellas his possible future salvation.

Vann, David
Aquarium

Each day, while she waits to be picked up after school, Caitlin visits the local aquarium to study the fish. Gazing at the creatures within the watery depths, Caitlin accesses a shimmering universe beyond her own. When she befriends an old man at the tanks one day, who seems as enamored of the fish as she, Caitlin cracks open a dark family secret and propels her once-blissful relationship with her mother toward a precipice of terrifying consequence. In crystalline, chiseled yet graceful prose, Aquarium takes us into the heart of a brave young girl whose longing for love and capacity for forgiveness transforms the damaged people around her. Relentless and heartbreaking, primal and redemptive, Aquarium is a transporting story from one of the best American writers of our time.

New Mysteries - March 2015

Arlen, Tessa
Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman
Lady Montfort has been planning her annual summer costume ball for months, and with scrupulous care. Pulling
together the food, flowers and a thousand other details for one of the most significant social occasions of the year
is her happily accepted responsibility. But when her husband's degenerate nephew is found murdered, it's more than the
ball that is ruined. In fact, Lady Montfort fears that the official police enquiry, driven by petty snobbery and class
prejudice, is pointing towards her son as a potential suspect. Taking matters into her own hands, the rather over-
imaginative countess enlists the help of her pragmatic housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, to investigate the case, track down
the women that vanished the night of the murder, and clear her son's name. As the two women search for a runaway
housemaid and a headstrong young woman, they unearth the hidden lives of Lady Montfort's close friends, servants and
family and discover the identity of a murderer hiding in plain sight. In this enchanting debut sure to appeal to fans
of Downton Abbey , Tessa Arlen draws readers into a world exclusively enjoyed by the rich, privileged classes and
suffered by the men and women who serve them. Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman is an elegant mystery filled
with intriguing characters and fascinating descriptions of Edwardian life—a superb treat for those who love British
novels.

Door is an unsettling exploration of the relationship between two very different women.

Ullman, Regina
The Country Road
The stories in this volume are largely set in the Swiss countryside, and though resonant of nineteenth-century village tales and of authors such as Adalbert Stifter, Ullmann's distinctive, otherworldly voice has inspired comparisons to her contemporary Robert Walser. In her stories, the archaic and the modern collide. In one tale, a young woman on an exhausting country walk recoils at a passing bicyclist, but accepts a ride from a wagon, taking her seat on a trunk with a snake coiled inside. As Ullmann writes, "sometimes the whole world appears to be painted on porcelain, right down to the dangerous cracks." This delicate but brittle beauty, with its ominous undertones, gives Regina Ullmann her unique voice.

Hermann, Nellie
The Season of Migrationt
This is a lyrically told story of one of the world's greatest artists finding his true calling. Though Vincent van
Gogh is one of the most popular painters of all time, we know very little about a ten-month period in the painter's

he became the artist we know today.

Pistalo, Vladimir
Tesla: a Portrait with Masks
An electric novel of the extraordinary life of one of the twentieth century's most prodigious and colorful
inventors Nikola Tesla was a man forever misunderstood. From his boyhood in what is present-day Croatia, where his
father, a Serbian Orthodox priest, dismissed his talents, to his tumultuous years in New York City, where his heated
rivalry with Thomas Edison yielded triumphs and failures, Tesla was both demonized and lionized. Tesla captures the
whirlwind years of the dawn of the electrical age, when his flair for showmanship kept him in the public eye. For
every successful invention—the alternating current electrical system and wireless communication among them—there
were hundreds of others. But what of the man behind the image? Vladimir Pistalo reveals the inner life of a man
haunted by the loss of his older brother, a man who struggled with flashes of madness and brilliance whose mistrust of
institutional support led him to financial ruin. Tesla: A Portrait with Masks is an impassioned account of a visionary
whose influence is still felt today.

The other pulls her back to her past, and to a man she has tried, and failed, to forget. Edward Neville-Ashford, her
